Particle Physics
A Geiger-Müller counter is a radiation detection instrument that measures ionizing radiation, such as alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays. It operates by detecting the ionization produced in a low-pressure gas within a Geiger-Müller tube when radiation passes through it, making it a widely used tool in particle detection techniques for assessing radiation levels in various environments.
congrats on reading the definition of Geiger-Müller counter. now let's actually learn it.
